The behavior that you see depends a lot on your workload.

I frequently write big multi-gigabyte files and this overflows any kind of buffers, so I often see pauses of many seconds for garbage collection on Samsung Pro NVMe SSDs.

Someone who only writes small files is unlikely to see such pauses, but when writing big amounts of data, pauses are guaranteed on any SSD.
